Los Angeles, CA —Is it time for the City of Los Angeles to repeal Special Order 40? This question is posed on the Full Disclosure Network® (FDN) two-part series to be featured on 45 cable channels starting this Sunday, locally on LA36, back to back.

The FDN series covers the non-enforcement policies of immigration laws in the City of Los Angeles and the struggle between the LAPD, Los Angeles County Sheriff and the Federal government for almost three decades.

This series features video clips from full length Full Disclosure interviews originally videotaped in the 1990's and re-released in 2004 as a two-part series covering top law enforcement and elected officials describing their reasons for enacting the "don't ask, don't tell" LAPD policy on illegal immigrants known as Special Order 40 that is still in force to this day.

Both Daryl Gates and L. A . County Supervisor Mike Antonovich recount the tragic circumstances where police officers died at the hands of criminals who were also illegal aliens. (Click here for transcript of quotes.)

When LAPD Deputy Chief Art Lopez was asked why the LAPD does not enforce immigration laws he told Full Disclosure® host Leslie Dutton “the City Fathers, the City Council and the Police Commission has spoken (they) want to provide services to everybody, regardless of their undocumented status. Unless they break the law, then we’re not going to report things to the INS.”

Sheriff Sherman Block describes the enormous cost to the county for jailing criminal illegal aliens.

L.A. Councilman Ernani Bernardi describes how he derailed the "Sanctuary City" declaration approved by the City Council when he threatened to sponsor a ballot initiative to give voters an opportunity to approve or disapprove such an action by the L. A. City Council.

Full Disclosure® interviews over the past sixteen years have documented the frustration and confusion of local law enforcement and District INS officials who often complained of lack of cooperation and lack of funding as the reasons why U.S. immigration laws were not being enforced. The programs are billed as "the news behind the news" and are produced by Emmy Award winning Host Leslie Dutton and Producer T. J. Johnston. In 2002 the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences presented the program with a local public affairs Emmy for the series "L.A.s War Against Terrorism.".

Los Angeles, CA. According to 33 year veteran international gang specialist and retired L.A. Sheriff’s Sergeant Richard Valdemar, Mexican drug cartels have infiltrated city councils and political campaigns in many small cities in Los Angeles County and illegal immigration is threatening the United States.

The L. A . Cable Channel 36 is featuring two segments from a four-part Full Disclosure Network® series with Sgt. Valdemar this Sunday and Monday, as follows:

* Sgt. Valdemar cited the following cities as having been infiltrated by the Mexican drug cartels: Lynwood, Bell Gardens, Hawaiian Gardens, South Gate, Huntington Park., Vernon, Cudahy.* Drug cartels set up phony businesses to launder drug money, usually used car lots, used tire shops that serve as a “front” for their operations.* Sgt. Valdemar says it all starts when a small business, like a restaurant, is purchased by someone with drug money from Mexico, who sets up shop and starts inviting the city fathers to come for complimentary or discounted meals.* Then invitations are extended to local police and other government officials, until the business operator is well established, with powerful friends.* Drug money is used to send out smear campaign literature to destroy reputations of incumbent city council members and to finance the campaigns of challengers whose goal is to get a majority voting block on the city council.* Once the drug cartel controls the city council, they fire the city attorney, city manager and start giving out contracts, like the trash collection contract, to their cronies.

The entire four-part interview series with Sgt. Richard Valdemar is scheduled to re-run on 45 cable systems. Channels and airtimes can be found on the website.
